I think that we should consider passing a law that a vendor may non disable “log in with” and supporting functionality like password recovery, for a user account for some lengthy period of time after involuntary termination of the user.

But I think that the bigger issue is that I don’t think that large corporations should be allowed to disassociate with their users except in the case where criminal activity against that company is involved. This is especially important now that all the vendors want ecosystem lock-in AND have ToS that allow them to cancel pretty much arbitrarily.



Agreed, and some kind of appeals process/ external arbitrator, if your account is terminated due to terms of service or automation.
